Congratulations of my fellow Eagle Matt Ryan who recently signed a record deal with the Falcons for 72 million. This was on the eve of the owners opting out of the current labor agreement with the players union. What does that mean? It means the owners want more $, and where is that coming from you might ask? 2 places, rookie salary pool and potentially an extra game.
The days of increasing record deals for rookies who have yet to prove a thing are numbered. Expect something more closer to the NBA's rookie salary cap and the big money coming in the player's 2nd contract. The structure will never be the identical because in a game where injuries, career ending injuries, are so prevalent, there will always be a premium paid for potential over performance.
To this end I applaud Matty Ice for his deal, enjoy it my friend, keep up the good work and you have a chance to maybe come close to being the great institutions #2 alum...
